Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* regular menstrual cycle (period 23-35 days)

Exclusion Criteria

* -Immediate previous use of progestin only contraception within 2 months
* Known or suspected pregnancy
* Acute tromboembolic disorder
* Presence or history of hepatic disease, as long as the liver function values have not returned to normal
* Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding

* Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients of the medicines
* Pregnant or breast feeding within 6 weeks
* The use of other medicinal products that might interact with contraceptive steroids and affect the efficacy of contraceptives and/or might may lead to bleeding irregularities (especially medicines that induce the liver enzyme systems such as cytochrome P450). Examples of active substances are: phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, bosentan, carbamatzepine, rifampicin and medicinal products or herbal preparations containing ST.John's wort and to a lesser extend oxcarbazepine, topiramate, felbamate and griseofulvin.
